    Kelle is now a major tv presenter in the uk, she's on the uk version of the view (loose women). Allegedly tj only lasted for a few days then quit lol
    The tabloids were dragging Easther and Vernie after Kelle got kicked out so the public did sort of turn against them after this unfrortunately.

    • @CCTVPOPS
      @CCTVPOPS  Рік тому +1

      Ah yes!! Glad Kelle is still doing well!

    • @1977UK
      @1977UK Місяць тому

      Kelle was not kicked out! Greatest Hits was prematurely released because Kelle wanted to leave the group (she requested so many times) and wasn’t even recording with the group or turning up to recording sessions! Basically Kelle left of her own accord and then made out she was kicked when she was promoting her debut solo single. Kelle even made out she was fired by fax. #lies #dramaqueen

  • @1977UK
    @1977UK Рік тому +3

    The fourth studio album Eternal did not do very well in the UK because Kelle was doing a lot of press criticising Easther and Vernie. The sisters said Kelle didn’t want to be in the group and the Greatest Hits was rush released because she wanted to leave. Kelle said she didn’t want to leave and being asked to leave came as a total surprise. So who is telling the truth? This was all covered on the Big Reunion anyway.
    The Eternal album did better in other countries like Spain where Kelle was not doing interviews. Here is a performance of Treat Me Like A Lady in Spain…

    This interview in 1999 is very interesting. I think Vernie receives too much criticism. She’s smart, assertive and direct. Why put that down?!

    This one too…

    Ultimately I would love to hear an Easther Bennett solo album. Her voice amazing. I Am Blessed is one of my favourite vocals. 🙌🏻

    Thanks guys, great show. Eternal gossip for ya: eternal were set to reform as a foursome in 2010 after LOUiSE secured a deal and management for them. E & V insisted they had separate management and the deal effectively fell apart. Easther gets a hard time. The reality was, as the big Sis, V was very much in charge. Louise and Easther were very close at one point, but there was always a tension with V and Kelle and Louise. Imagine V left and we just had E, K and L. That would’ve been great. eternal were also my ‘in’ to Sugababes. Pre eternal I was a smiley Kylie obsessed. But eternal pulled me in. In the U.K. we didn’t have much access to US mainstream music unless it hit here. So eternal felt groundbreaking in style and sound in the U.K. They were the first girlband to sell a million units of a debut album. Well that’s my trivia. Over n out 😂

    • @1977UK
      @1977UK Рік тому +1

      That’s interesting. Maybe the management issue was financially driven? Was Louise commanding a higher fee or more lead vocals?

      @thepopfiles4294 Рік тому +1

      @@1977UK I ‘think’ the issue was going with management they didn’t select would possibly give them little control. It’s would’ve been a 4 way split and a celebration of Always and Forever, so LOUiSE knew her role on that album, and knows having Easther is an advantage as lead.

    They were formed in 1991 not 1992, I always say this because the media always right 1992. Eternal were together for 2 years before they released ‘Stay’. They had a year to get to know each other and to see if it’s what they wanted to do the they started making their album ‘Always & Forever’ which is the first album by a girl group to sell 1 million copies in the UK.

      A lot of the time it's actually Kelle on the low notes, Vernie in the middle. They did alternate. But watch the video of them doing something inside so strong in the studio, you hear their set up. Kelle on the bottom, then Louise, then Vernie and Easther on the top notes.
